Its still a throwaway line. Comparing your record of "winning elections" against people that have ran dozens more time than you have doesn't even begin to make a valid point. Its good for a laugh and thats about it.

primary races have those women been in, compared to the men?

Biden dropped out of two presidential primaries, but as far as I know, he hasn't lost any general elections.

Warren adding that bit about defeating a Republican "in the last 30 years" was also silly, a picky number chosen to ignore what her male rivals have accomplished.

by anyone.. this should be an election of a) beating Trump and b) restoration of dignity to the office of the President and c) ideas for the future

And, if I was on the stage, I might has asked Warren "how many women have ever won a national election?"

It's not a fair question, only 3 women have ever BEEN on a national ticket. But it's just as false as making some sort of remark about the men on the stage.

I am almost certain that this year we will elect a woman President or Vice President... and it better f'ing not be Nicki Haley.
